THE SUMMER THAT NEVER WAS

Merynn found a new love this summer .........smoothies!!!!

Just one of the MANY games we had to play inside cause the weather was so bad this summer.

The girls and I were treated (thank you again!!) and got to go see the Broadway musical "Wicked". For sure THE highlight of the summer for me. It was incredible. The girls are still talking about it. (It was fun to see the Whipples there too!)

My brother T.J. and his wife Britt had a pirate themed anniversary party. So fun. The kids really had a blast dressing up as pirates. It was a great day spending time with family. We missed you Rachel!!

Such a cute pirate right?

We had one week of plus 24 degrees Celsius or a little higher and we made sure we took advantage of it. Off to Musreau Lake and the beach. Yeah for the sun!

Trentan calls this his masterpiece. Another activity to do in the rain. I think it has still not been erased yet.

Some more beach pictures. Josh thinks he is tough.

Alysha and her buddy Mikayla out on the yellow floatie.


The kids having a picnic out on the deck after playing in the sprinkler. Don't I have the most adorable kids EVER??????



Another beach picture. I took it far away so that I didn't get kids faces that weren't mine. Not sure if I'm allowed to post them. But that is Alysha and Trentan and Simon.



As mentioned earlier, the weather this summer was not very co-operative. The kids have said that they feel cheated out of a summer holiday. We got a lot of rain, wind and bugs. Gross. But fun times were still had. My neice Brooke came and stayed with us for a week and Josh went to her house to play with Parker and Cammy. Merynn got spoiled for a week staying with Kayla and Kurtis. We didn't venture too far from home. We have had to do some rearranging of bedrooms which resulted in new paint colors. We are rearranging bedrooms cause we will be having a college student come live with us starting on Saturday. His name is Jonathan and we know him from when we lived in Fairview. Should be an adventure.
I am still babysitting 4 kids (besides my own) on a regular basis. School starts next week. Piano starts the week after that. I will be ready for a vacation soon.

BETTER RACHEL??????
